Lynn Miles brings the laughter and upbeat folk

E-mail Print PDF

I caught the tail end of Lynn Miles and Prairie Oyster’s Keith Glass’s May 7 show at the Wolf’s Den. Miles cracked jokes Lynn Miles and Keith Glass at the Wolf’s Den, May 7. Photo by Richard Amerythroughout her set which had a good sized Lethbridge Folk Club crowd chuckling along.

She joked about getting a new credit card when Alison Krauss promised to and then failed to record one of her songs. In between jokes, her songs had the audience on the edge of their seats with pretty melodies and some impressive soloing and vocal harmonies from Keith Glass.


Miles cracked up herself, Glass and the audience with a story of having a breakdown and moving into her mom’s crafts room in her late ’30s, surrounded by her crocheted elephant “trunks” and played an outstanding song inspired by that experience.


 Then she had a little ’fight’ on stage with Glass about the jazz riffs he was playing on one of her songs which had everybody howling.
